I've been searching for an hour.....Grady(or anyone else)!

Does anybody have a picture of Grady's home made CAI?? I'm going to rip it off this weekend, then hopefully get her running! :nice:

Well :D

There has been a lot of talk about the search engine lately :shrug:

I gotta tell you ... I used the name of "final5-0" and keywords of "home made"

AND BAM :eek: 10 seconds later ... I found the thread with the pics :nice:

I like the setup Grady. It's very clean looking. It's also very straight instead of having that hard curve like all the aftermarket ones have.

Its just something I threw together with function being my only
focus at the time :shrug:

I was at my local Home Depot and got to looking around in the plumbing
section and saw the potential of something quick and nasty :D

I used the thick Fernco rubber couplers as their inside diameter was just
right for what was needed to work with the 3 inch pvc pipe :)

The thick coupler also allowed me to just simply bore a hole for the ACT
and 90 degree fitting for the hose from the oil filler neck.
I just reused the OEM factory bent hose as it worked out just right.

I saw some strap Aluminum and just bent it in the shape needed to use
the existing bolt hole above the large opening.

I sprayed it gloss black as that was the only paint I had around the house
at the time.

You could use those some of those colored couplers, paint it with more
care and it would not look like you just threw it together like I did.

IIRC... I think I had a bit less than 15 bux in the whole deal :shrug:

Some Day :shrug: I'll get around to making it look a bit nicer :D
